My male cat is almost 2 years old. He has been neutered and is box trained. Twice this week he has come into our room and peed on our bed while we were sleeping. The first time he came by our head and pissed on my hair and my pillow. This morning he jumped up and peed again. My husband was awake at the time. Is he marking us? One time he jumped on my husbands lap and pissed on him. Any feedback would be helpful!
Cat peeing on my bed while we are sleeping in it?

Getting The Best Dog Bed
If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.

It could be a symptom of illness, so it’s worth giving your vet a call to see if you need to take your cat for a check-up. If he gets a clean bill of health, then it’s most likely a behavioural problem. The one that springs to mind is "associative" elimination.
Cats aren’t disgusted by the smell of their own urine or faeces, so it never occurs to them that we might find it offensive. However, if they are feeling anxious that their territory is under threat, this can trigger marking behaviour. They’ll often choose places like beds to do this, because they smell most strongly of their loved ones. By mixing their scent with yours, they are trying to reinforce the bond between you, and send out a united "keep away" message to any rivals (real or imagined) whom they feel might be challenging their right to be there. You need to investigate what might be making him feel threatened, and then reduce or eliminate the source of his stress.
The web site below has a helpful check list of 18 reasons why cats might feel stressed or unhappy enough to begin marking territory, and advice on dealing with this behaviour.

You might also want to consider investing in a Feliway plug-in. They emit an aroma which cats find very comforting, and if he feels more secure he’ll be less inclined to scent mark.
Hope this helps.

this is common of a cat who does not spend much time with its owners, it wants you to start paying attention to him. You may also try changing his litter more often and if that doesn’t work you may want to take him to a veterinarian because there could be something wrong with him that you don’t want to have escalate into a large problem.

well cats are very intresting animals lol, sometime they do that when something has been changed in there life, stress, mad, or even feels left out. There is this spray you can buy to spray on areas you dont want you cat to pee on(locate it at a pet store), use it a few times in areas hes doing it in and sometimes they learn not to go there bc of the smell it will produce. Good Luck and that sucks
